The result provides readers from different backgrounds with a complete introduction to vector analysis. The author shows why vectors are so useful and how it is possible to develop analytical skills in manipulating vector algebra. Using over 150 full-colour illustrations, the author demonstrates in worked examples how this relatively young branch of mathematics has become a powerful and central tool in describing and solving a wide range of geometric problems. These may be in the form of lines, surfaces and volumes, which may touch, collide, intersect, or create shadows upon complex surfaces. The book is divided into eleven chapters covering the history of vector analysis, linear equations, vector algebra, vector products, differentiating vector-valued functions, vector differential operators, tangent and normal vectors, straight lines, planes, intersections and rotating vectors. The new chapters are about the history, differentiating vector-valued functions, differential operators and tangent and normal vectors. The original chapters have been reworked and illustrated.Computer graphicsMathematicsComputer graphicsMathematics.006.60151Vince John(John A.),471760MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483643903321Vector analysis for computer graphics2586339UNINA01299nam0 22003131i 450 UON0038686920231205104554.385978-05-211-3090-520101215d2009 |0itac50 baengUS|||| |||||Defeating Mau Mau, creating Kenyacounterinsurgency, Civil War, and decolonizationDaniel Branch1 edNew YorkCambridge UniversityPress2009 xx, 250 p.ill.23 cm001UON000656232001 African Studies SeriesGeneral editor J.M.
